Chapter 10 examines the conflation between “Chineseness” and “cheating” as a phenomenon in battle royale shooters such as PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and Apex Legends. Drawing from player-generated textual and media sources on Reddit, Twitter, and YouTube, the author traces this racial logic across ludic and sociohistorical contexts. The case of Chinese cheaters illustrates what the author terms “procedural racism,” racial meaning that forms when technical operations of software misuse and malfunction converge with cultural signifiers of invasion. Mobilizing cheating as an analytic, the chapter argues that video game hacking functions as an “Asiatic” procedure that marks the virtual borders of fair play for global server-based online multiplayer shooter games.
